CHARLES EAMES (U.S., 1907 - 1978) & RAY EAMES (U.S., 1912 - 1988)."Lounge Chair & Ottoman", 1956 design.Edition from the 1970s-80s. Herman Miller EditionRosewood frame with black leather upholstery.Publisher's label on the seat.Measures: 83 x 80 x 80 cm.The "Lounge" armchair and footrest set, made of molded wood with leather upholstery, was designed by Charles and Ray Eames. An icon of 20th century design, this furniture is part of important collections such as that of the MoMA in New York. Vitra has manufactured the Charles and Ray Eames Lounge Chair using the same manufacturing methods since the 1950s.Charles and Ray Ames, a husband and wife artistic couple, worked in the fields of industrial and graphic design, fine art and film, and are responsible for numerous designs that have become 20th century classics. Charles Eames studied architecture for two years at the University of Washington, then began his career working in a studio on residential housing projects. In 1938 he moved to Cranbrook, Michigan, to continue studying architecture and design at the city's Academy of Art. He would eventually teach there, heading the industrial design department. Together with Eero Saarinen, the son of his teacher Eliel Saarinen, he designed the trophy for the Organic Design Award, given by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 1941, after divorcing his first wife, he married his colleague at Cranbrook, Ray Kaiser. Together they settled in Los Angeles, where they would remain for the rest of their lives. In the late 1940s, Ray and Charles designed their home together, known as the "Eames House," now considered a masterpiece of modern architecture. In the 1950s the couple continued to work in architecture and furniture design, pioneering the use of new techniques and materials such as fiberglass and plastic resin in the manufacture of chairs. They are currently represented in the Design Museum in London and the MoMA in New York, among many others.

Cette politique fut un incroyable succès, les ventes de la 190 totalisant presque 2 millions d'exemplaires au cours des dix années de production.La 190, une berline quatre portes traditionnelle à moteur avant et propulsion, était proposée avec une grande variété de moteurs allant du quatre cylindres 1,8 litres au six cylindres 2,6 litres, auxquels s'ajoutaient des diesel 2 litres et 2,5 litres. Une version sportive ne tarda pas à faire son apparition, la 2.3-16 de 185 ch intégrant la gamme 190 à l'automne 1983, suivie d'une 2.5-16 encore plus puissante en 1985. Ces voitures avaient été conçues avec la compétition en tête et étaient équipées de culasses à 16 soupapes conçues par la firme britannique Cosworth Engineering qui reprenait la recette appliquée avec succès sur son moteur DFV de Formule 1. Construite pour satisfaire à l'homologation du Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft (DTM), la discipline réservée aux voitures de tourisme, les éditions limitées Evolution et Evolution 2 avaient été commercialisées à la fin de la décennie.Cette Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evo II DTM a été construite en 1990 par le Team Snobeck pour leur propre usage en 1991 et a évolué au cours de la saison. Snobeck avait engagé deux voitures dans le championnat DTM en 1991, une pour Jacques Lafitte et l'autre pour Alain Cudini qui avait rejoint l'équipe de Dany Snobeck en 1985, courant à la fois pour les championnats européen et français en Tourisme, avant de se lancer en DTM en 1988. Des deux pilotes, ce fut Cudini qui connut de loin la meilleure saison, finissant 6e – son meilleur résultat en DTM. Alors dans une livrée majoritairement noire, cette voiture a été pilotée par Cudini avant de passer au pilote belge Michel Neugarten pour les saisons Procar belge de 1992 et 1993 dans une nouvelle livrée aux couleurs rose et vert de l'Écurie Le Perron. Plus récemment, la voiture a été repeinte aux couleurs de l'exemplaire de Diebels Alt/Zakspeed, engagée par le pilote hollandais Kurt Thiim, simplement parce que le propriétaire aime les voitures vertes ! Une miniature de la voiture dans sa livrée Snobeck/Cudini a été commercialisée par Minichamps. Vers 1995-1996, la voiture fut achetée par l'ingénieur-mécanicien de l'actuel propriétaire, qui a toujours été un spécialiste passionné enthousiaste de Mercedes-Benz. Il avait vu la voiture pour la première fois sur circuit à Chimay et l'avait achetée plus tard. La Mercedes était encore dans sa livrée de l'écurie Le Perron/Michel Neugarten rose et vert quand il l'acheta et le nouveau propriétaire continua de courir dans des épreuves régionales au cours des années 1990, dans une nouvelle couleur blanche soulignée de bleu. Trois fois champion de Belgique en ASAF, il fut multiple vainqueur – Spa-Francorchamps, Zolder, Chimay – travaillant comme mécanicien la semaine et pilote les week-ends. Le mécanicien de l'actuel propriétaire a toujours entretenu la voiture avec soin et nous confirme qu'elle n'a jamais été accidentée ni connu de dommages importants et de fait elle a toujours sa carrosserie originale.Jamais entièrement restaurée et très authentique, cette Mercedes ex-DTM a toujours été bien entretenue et sans cesse améliorée depuis ses débuts en compétition en 1991. Le moteur a été révisé il y a plus de 10 ans, date depuis laquelle la voiture n'a pas été utilisée en compétition. Jamais changée et très certainement l'original, le moteur 2.5-16 Evo II développe 330-335 ch. Représentant une rare opportunité d'acquérir une authentique voiture de compétition du DTM avec un historique d'époque, la voiture proposée est vendue avec une copie des « plan de construction » du Team Snobeck.1991 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evo II DTMChassis no. n/aMercedes-Benz went head to head with BMW when it launched the compact 190 Series in December 1982, expanding its market to include motorists hitherto unable to afford the Stuttgart manufacturer's high-quality products. This policy proved an outstanding success, with sales of the 190 totalling almost two million over the course of its ten-year production life. A conventional front-engine, rear-drive, four-door saloon, the 190 was available with a variety of engines ranging from a 1.8-litre four to a 2.6-litre six, plus 2.0-litre and 2.5-litre diesels. Sports models was not long in coming, the 185bhp 2.3-16 joining the expanding 190 range in the autumn of 1983, to be followed by the even more powerful 2.5-16 in 1985. These cars had been conceived with motor sports in mind and were quipped with 16-valve cylinder heads developed in Britain by Cosworth Engineering, which based the design on that of its immensely successful DFV Formula 1 engine. Produced to meet the homologation requirements of the Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft (DTM) touring car race series, limited edition Evolution and Evolution II versions had arrived by the decade's end. This Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evo II DTM was built in 1990 by Team Snobeck to be used by them during 1991, and was further developed throughout that season. Snobeck entered two cars in the 1991 DTM series: one for Jacques Lafitte and the other for Alain Cudini, who had joined Dany Snobeck's team in 1985, competing both in the European and French touring car championships before entering the DTM in 1988. Of the two, Cudini enjoyed by far the better season, ending up 6th - his best result in the DTM championship. Then in predominantly black livery, this car was raced by Cudini before passing to Belgian driver Michel Neugarten for the 1992 and 1993 Belgian Procar seasons with its livery changed to the pink/green colours of Écurie Le Perron. More recently, the car has been refinished in the colours of the Diebels Alt/Zakspeed example campaigned by Dutch driver Kurt Thiim, simply because the owner likes green cars! A model of this car in its Snobeck/Cudini livery was issued by Minichamps. Around 1995-1996, the car was bought by the current owner's race engineer, who has always been an enthusiastic Mercedes-Benz devotee and specialist. He first saw the car on the track in Chimay and bought it later on. The Mercedes was in its Écurie Le Perron/Michel Neugarten pink/green livery when purchased,...

2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG CoupéChassis no. WMXRJ7HAXEA011477• Sans réserve• Un seul propriétaire depuis l'origine• Construite selon les spécifications suisses/Compatible Euro 5• Spécifications exceptionnelles• Peu utilisée• Offered without reserve• One owner from new• Built to Swiss specification and Euro 5 compliant• Exceptional specification• Little usedFootnotes:Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Coupé 2014Châssis n° WMXRJ7HAXEA011477AMG, actuellement la division « performance » de Mercedes-Benz, a une longue expérience dans la production de modèles à haute performance dérivés des véhicules Mercedes standards et ces versions améliorées attirent dans le monde une clientèle fidèle comprenant des personnalités de premier plan du sport automobile, du spectacle, du sport et des milieux d'affaires.Avec l'introduction de la Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG en 2010, la firme basée à Affalterbach a fait encore un pas en avant. Vue pour la première fois au Salon de Francfort 2009 et saluée comme un hommage à la légendaire 300 SL « portes papillon », sans doute la première « super car » du monde, la Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG fut remarquée aussi comme étant la première voiture conçue chez AMG. Pièce de collection dès son introduction, la nouvelle SLS se distinguait par ses portes « papillon » comme celles de son illustre devancière et succédait à la Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren comme haut de gamme de la marque allemande. Dessinée par Mark Fetherston de Mercedes-Benz, la SLS AMG reçut de nombreuses et prestigieuses récompenses pour son style, seule automobile ayant jamais reçu le Prix du Design (en or) de la République Fédérale d'Allemagne. Une version découverte fut présentée pour 2011.Dotée d'une structure unitaire majoritairement construite en aluminium, la SLS (Sport Licht Super) était propulsée par un moteur V12 de 6, 3 litres délivrant initialement 563 ch – le moteur de série le plus puissant à l'époque- tandis que la transmission automatique à sept rapports et double embrayage était aussi à la pointe du progrès. Un aileron arrière, déployé à grande vitesse, stabilisait la SLS aux environs de sa vitesse maximale – 320 km/h – alors que son poids limité (1 620 kg) permettait à la voiture de boucler le tour de la piste d'essai de Mercedes-Benz plus vite que la SLR McLaren antérieure. Tout naturellement, étant donné son pedigree, la SLS AMG eut beaucoup de succès auprès des pilotes automobiles, dont le Champion du Monde de F1, Lewis Hamilton, tandis que la liste de propriétaires célèbres comprenait Eddie Murphy, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Al Pacino, Roger Federer, Sylvester Stallone et Tom Hanks. Plusieurs versions en série limitée furent lancées dont une version de compétition GT3 jusqu'à la SLS AMG GT Final Edition de 2014. Le directeur général de Mercedes-AMG, Tobias Moers, a déclaré qu'une remplaçante n'était pas à l'étude si bien qu'à l'heure actuelle, la SLS AMG demeure la plus récente expression de la noble tradition de la « papillon ».Cet exemplaire construit selon les spécifications du marché suisse répond aux normes Euro 5. Il a été livré au vendeur, son premier propriétaire, en novembre 2014 par l'intermédiaire du distributeur Mercedes-Benz local, comme « ex-showroom » et a très peu roulé depuis. La documentation disponible comprend des copies du certificat de conformité du constructeur (en allemand) et de la facture d'achat mentionnant en détail ses spécifications exceptionnelles (dont nous recommandons l'examen).

WMXRJ7HAXEA011477AMG, which is now the official performance division of Mercedes-Benz, has a long history of producing high-performance derivatives of Mercedes' standard production vehicles, and these improved versions enjoy an enthusiastic following world-wide, with prominent figures of the motorsports, entertainment, sport, and business communities being counted among aficionados. With the introduction of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG in 2010, the Affalterbach-based firm took a significant step forward. First seen at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show and acknowledged as a tribute to the legendary 300 SL 'Gullwing' coupé of the 1950s – arguably the world's first supercar – the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG was notable as the first car to be designed in-house by AMG. A collectors' item from the day it was announced, the newcomer featured 'Gullwing' doors like its illustrious predecessor and succeeded the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren at the top of the German manufacturer's range. Styled by Mercedes-Benz's Mark Fetherston, the SLS AMG received numerous prestigious design awards, and is the only automobile ever to have won the (gold) Design Award of the Federal Republic of Germany. An open roadster version was introduced for 2011.Boasting a chassis/body of mainly aluminium construction, the SLS (Sport Licht Super) was powered by a 6.2-litre V12 engine producing 563bhp initially - the most powerful normally aspirated production car engine of its day - while the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission was similarly state-of-the-art. A rear wing, extendable at high speeds, kept the SLS stable at its near-200mph maximum, while its low weight (3,573lbs) helped the car lap the Mercedes-Benz test track quicker than its SLR McLaren predecessor. Not surprisingly, given its pedigree, the SLS AMG proved very popular with racing drivers, Formula 1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton among them, while the list of celebrity owners includes Eddie Murphy, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Al Pacino, Roger Federer, Sylvester Stallone, and Tom Hanks. Several limited edition versions were introduced, including a GT3 racer, leading up to the SLS AMG GT Final Edition of 2014. Mercedes-AMG CEO Tobias Moers has said that there are no plans for a successor, so for the time being the SLS AMG remains the ultimate expression of the noble 'Gullwing' tradition.This example was built to Swiss specification and...
